The last tournament in the winter had 22 teams. That was our best attendance yet. Though I'd like to break it, not many folks are signing up early, so we might not be breaking the record-----but usually we do get at least 15 teams.

Alright, future and past attendees, the Monty needs you more than ever. We need turnout. Let me know you're alive, thinking about coming, etc. Right now I have only 2 teams, and one of them I'm on. SIGN UP FOLKS! Got a fun new layout, shaded (mostly) in the woods.

7 teams that I'm sure of now, though I've heard rumor of 2-3 more lurking out there.

Yesterday I got the last basket in place, so the Monty IX layout is now in place. Some of the holes are rough; I haven't installed tee signs on #'s 15, 16, 17; Tee markers are in place, but on 6, 7, 9, 13, 14, 15, 16, the tees haven't been played on yet, just cleaned up; debris is still down on several holes, but it's the worst on 13, 14, and 16 near the pin; mowing needs to occur, or at least the clipping of growth, on 5, 6, 7, 12, 18.

Sign up folks! The Monty is a blast and the new holes are awesome just like the old holes. Don't miss out on supporting one of the hardest working td/course designers there is. Give Luke some props bitches!

Come play the course ahead of time, THis Saturday 7/16 at 9:00 am I'm hosting random draw dubs, or wolf, or whatever game that folks want to play. I recommend checking out the new holes. FOr the most part they are nothing like the rest of the course. Let me know if you are considering coming down!

I mowed yesterday. Considering that cleanup started with the place in total chaos, I'm very happy that mowing was an option yesterday. IN places the course is still a little rough, but not bad. Overall, it's tournament ready.

What he said for sure. If I didn't have help from folks, I'd never get tournaments done. Even though the flyer said that I'm the TD, that work was shared by Me, Brian, Barry, and yep, you too, Grease, you sexy beast.

Skip ace off the top----it hasn't been done yet but very close. THat is the most aced hole; five or six now. I took that route in the tournament and my group both times thought I was crazy, but it really is the best route to get you there without getting bogged down in the grass.
